C0wden Now Backs Him Against

Cook is vict, ious He has accom-

Last night in the presence of DR.. j. W.

quail. There were four quail of the
lot left over. which steward Price had
broiled in honor of the occasion, and
after Cook had digested quail No 80
he volunteered 10 eat two of the mum
Der, if Cowden and Smith would each
eat one. No sooner said than done, and
Cook finished his undertaking with two
additional quail Cook therefore wins
the silk hat from DR.. Cowden, and the
latter also pays the expenses.
Dr. Cowden is, however, not altogether
displeased with the result. as he believes
the accomplishment of valuable signifi
canoe to the medical fraternity, and will
probably write a paper on the subject
Cowden believes Cook succeeded fairly
and squarely, and is capable of repeating
the task, and now stakes Cook against
the world as a quail eater, and offers 81
600 to $4,000 that he can cat sixty
quail in sixty consecutive days.
Several minor bets were made as to

Harper losing a box of cigars, and Capt
Tom Fuller IS note Fuller, however
thinks he can make up for his loss wheI
be finds some one so venturesomo as to
bet him that he can't eat bear in week
| Fuller is in earaest about this matter

and determined in anything he may IN
